To say that the San Diego Comic Con is a sensory overload would be an understatement. The top industry names go all out with their displays and booths promoting the latest films, comic books, and toys. Walk a couple of steps in any direction and attendees are taking pictures with a life-size Transformer or Iron Man or Harry Potter character. The immersive experience is unlike any other convention out there.

Some of the names AM readers are sure to be familiar with include Last Gasp Publishing, Baby Tattoo, Tara McPherson, and Giant Robot.
